With a sound that no one can quite touch, nor classify, it comes as little surprise that an outside-the-box artist like Actress would come into the path of Autonomic. The mastermind behind the cult-worshipped Werk Discs (whose roster includes enigmatic producers Lone, Lukid and Zomby), Actress took the electronic spectrum into another direction entirely last year with ‘Splazsh.’ Released on Damon Albarn’s imprint Honest Jons, ‘Splazsh’ brought dynamic Hypercolour to the insular greyness that his ‘Hazyville’ album captured so well. After his acclaimed debut on Nonplus+ in 2010 – the astral ‘Machine And Voice’ EP, the intriguing artist returns to the label with ‘Gershwin / HarrierA bonafide classic to sit in the ranks alongside Cybotron, in comes a typically allencompassing, textured four-on-the-floor stomper from Actress.

Actress’ tenth studio album, the celestial and expansive Statik, is released June 7th via Smalltown Supersound.
The collaboration between Darren Cunningham and the esteemed Oslo-based purveyors of elevated sonics evolved organically following Actress’ remix of a Carmen Villain cut for the 12” of her Only Love From Now On LP.
In this vein, the entire Statik project, from conception through creation and release, has been blessed with an almost unnatural ease. For Actress, who wrote the majority of his subtly majestic new record in an extensive flow state, the project serves as a cohesive testament to artistic liberation.
Resultantly, Cunningham’s new album is imbued with a sense of freedom. And of stillness. The kind of stillness within artistic motion that arises via the deepest states of flow. Once ‘inside’ the Statik experience, listeners may well find themselves newly calm and meditative.
Of course, those well-versed in Actress’s works are well-travelled when it comes to fantastical flights of the mind. Transportive sonics that spark inner-voyages – whether through nocturnal cityscapes, or far above and beyond, through Saturn’s rings and past Pluto’s moons – are prime Cunningham terrain. Yet while Statik is unmistakably an Actress LP, it’s also distinctly aquatic and subtly primordial, and so offers his audience novel elemental atmospheres to flow through. Listening closely, influential visions of aqueous realms, such as the mythic Atlantis, and evocations of ancient ceremonies as well as flying birds (and, perhaps, humans) may reveal themselves.
No matter if Statik inspires you to soar above or below the horizon, Actress and Smalltown Supersound promise you a safe and transcendent journey. More

Between sleep and the void lies the electronic interzone of Actress. Following the noted 2010 album Splazsh (voted number one in The Wire magazine’s Top 50 Releases Of The Year) South London producer Darren Cunningham returns with a suite of electronic laments, tone structures and dreamtime rhythms which all carry his unmistakable fingerprint. R.I.P. comprises fifteen tracks painstakingly crafted by Cunningham in his London studio over recent years, with a conceptual arc taking in death, life, sleep and religion. “I'm just an instrument,” Cunningham avers. “I'm completely dead when I write.”
Right from the debut album Hazyville (Werk Discs), Actress’s music has carried deep tinges and pock marks of London's rave music heritage. But after the angular dynamics of Splazsh (Honest Jon’s), R.I.P. heads out into deep space. The rhythms and pulses are smudged or blurred, or are hinted at by their absence. 2-step garage is collided into gamelan, and freeform interludes explore microtonal spaces and imagined string instruments. The fifteen chapters of R.I.P. begin with Ascension and the Book of Genesis and play out through gardens, serpents and mythological caves. “When I feel I'm coming towards the end of the process I'll buy some books related to the theme. So I started Milton’s Paradise Lost, started to re-read Jamie James’s The Music Of The Spheres. I wanted the movements to make sense scene-wise and chronologically."“In places the album is meant to drift,” notes Cunningham. R.I.P. moves back and forth between space and rhythm, probing the “boundaries in and of rest and peace.” Appropriately for exploring the myths of Creation, the sounds Actress creates are completely sui generis. There are no soft synths or plug-ins, and instead he uses meticulous manual sound tinkering to create tones, tunings and textures. “It's like painting with button and sliders,” he describes. “Melting and dripping, seeping yourself liquid into the machinery.” The ghosted rhythms and free tunings of these tracks live in a parallel universe to the conventional rigours of the dancefloor. Unlike the sterile sound spaces rendered in so much laptop sound-product, these tracks carry traces of the endless mouse strokes that made them. You feel the sweat and sinew of handmade construction. “I can't explain how I made those tracks, it's just impossible,” he says. “I have a hard time comprehending it myself sometimes.” The album begins with the title track, a short tonal requiem for the dead, before drifting into another beatless meditation, the rippling minimalist structure of Ascending. Holy Water and Marble Plexus introduce rhythm, although these percussive tics could be equally sourced from sub-bass speaker stacks or marbles rolling around a bowl. Jardin and Serpent are origami-like constructions which orbit around what could be pizzicato strings or harps. Last-but-one is IWAAD, whose pulsing 4/4 rhythms and warm hits of low-end vibration hint at a return to the real. R.I.P. underlines Actress’s reputation as one of the most eloquent voices to emerge from the sub-bass nexus of London dance music. His intuitive and original grasp of beats, textures and rhythm puts him on a parallel path to dance music innovators such as Drexciya, T++, Aphex Twin, Burial and Basic Channel. But the way he engages with electronic sound from first principles, realising his own self-contained sonic worlds, hints at less obvious kinships outside the dance music fraternity, with pioneers of homebrewed sound experiments such as Cabaret Voltaire, Pan Sonic and Oval. It moves the body but the sounds also tap into to something more intangible inside you; you dance, but also “slip/drift into another realm, probably without even realising.”

Charles Duff and Daniel Fisher have known each other since well before their respective forays into dance music. They serendipitously crossed paths at some point in the early 2010s with mutual friends in the NYC club kid scene. Shortly thereafter they realised they both were keen to ditch the vapid hipster bullshit that had fueled their early careers thus far in order to pursue something pure: techno. Mind you, this was at a time when it was not terribly cool to be into underground dance music. If anything, they both were greeted with massive skepticism from their peers but that didn't ultimately deter them. Both went from relative obscurity to regular slots at Berghain. And for two American kids musing in a pathetic bedroom studio, this was nothing short of a dream come true. A prophecy had been fulfilled. The two tried their hands at numerous attempts at collaboration over a 5 year period but nothing seemed to stick. Most of it sucked horrendously according to them. But not on this occasion. The stars finally came into alignment and they were able to execute a concise group of tracks that finally made sense together. Which brings us to Threads. Threads, an homage to the uber-dystopian BBC docudrama from the 80s, sums up their dynamic approach to tracks. It's an alienating, sinister take on techno that somehow manages to not fully lose faith in dire times. Much like life today.

paleman - Titan Vulture
Emerging from the wake of his sold out release with Zehnin Records, Paleman continues his experiments with textural and visceral modular music exploration for his debut 3 track EP for Nonplus Records. A side “Sweltering Rain” is a powerful piece of groaning, urgent dance floor minimalism, charging forward with a ritualistic, undulating droid line set against scorched, otherworldly drones. B1 “Cells” opens with scurrying modulated white noise and reverberating cosmic texture patterns set against a monolithic kick drum ostinato. The elegant minimalism develops with radioactive analog synth alarms and stark futuristic vocal glitches as the track barrels forward with momentum. B2 Titan Vulture explores an undiscovered alien landscape evoking imagery of liquid pools of methane, erupting geysers and swirls of otherworldly elements. It is an absorbing, chugging and captivating piece of textural escapism, evolving as it goes whilst still featuring the elegant and considered minimalistic touch that runs throughout the EP.

ellen alien - Trigger

ellen alien - Flying Objects
Ellen Allien prepares to release her first ever solo EP outside of her BPitch Control imprint and has chosen a label she avidly admires, Boddika's Nonplus. The title track is both a thundering call to action and a love letter to the unifying power of rave culture. While its lyrics may seem vague at first "take a stand for or against what?" they unravel their mystery while the track unfolds gradually. Starting off as a sparse basement banger, ‘Take A Stand’ slowly escalates into an acidic anthem before subtly changing its course once more towards the end. Over the course of ten and a half minutes, Ellen Allien revives the cheerful optimism of the original techno revolution while positioning herself against the joylessness inherent to so much techno these days. This is a revolution you can dance to. On the b-side, ‘Trigger’ takes us into an equally hypnotising trip down the wormhole of contemporary rave culture. Combining a hard-hitting groove with a muffled, bouncing acid bassline, it will have basements and big rooms alike dripping with sweat. On ‘Flying Objects’, Ellen Allien uses her voice once more, this time to round off what could just well be the official musical manifesto for what she usually refers to "space techno" - a colourful, futurist statement that leaves no ass unshaken.

When Alexander (Boddika) got in touch asking for some new fresh music I knew it was a really important step for me. Nonplus is a stable reference label in the Techno scene and it was a unique opportunity. I thought the open minded philosophy of the label would help me a lot and I could create more experimental works. I decided to produce the tracks in almost one take… turned on the synths and looked for the perfect range and character of sounds and spent some weeks recording it, finishing with some edits before the final mixing. The final results were more than expected. Harmonic Rain, the Ep main's track has a really special groove, with a main melody which is transposed and slightly altering it gives me a good feeling. The Ep feels to me like a complete journey itself. With peak time tracks, and more experimental and "warm up" music. Loops but not loops. In summary, I'm really happy with this release and with the beginning of this musical relationship with Boddika and the Nonplus team."

avatism - Things To Do in New York City
A collection of tracks written & produced in 2016, Milan, Italy, including some of his first solo material after focusing on his CW/A project with Francesco Leali aka Clockwork for a few years. An audio engineer by trade, Avatism records electronic music and operates Parachute Records from his Milan-based studio. With original compositions and remixes on Nonplus, Vakant, Decca, R&S and his own imprint, the young Italian is well-respected for his own brand of dilapidated, muscular dance music. Performing solely as a live act, his improvised transmissions echo through the walls of clubs like Fabric, Berghain, Concrete, Panorama Bar and festivals of the calibre of Sonar, Audioriver and EXIT, either alone or under the guise of CW/A.

michael wolski - Unfinished Transaction

Sound induced by him can be described as something between techno, deep techno and dub techno, under a deep impact of broadly although not always explicitly understood ambient.

henning bear - Spiritual Quest
Fresh off of a pair of well-received EPs on his recently-launched Manhigh imprint, Berlin’s highly respected techno auteur Henning Baer makes his first appearance on Nonplus with 4 excellently crafted, saturated machine techno tracks on The Idea of Instinct. Following on feelings suggested in the title, the EP opens with a pair of more contemplative pieces: the title track’s spare arrangement puts mechanical rhythmic drive behind its exploration of dusky electronic atmospheres, while the feeling of ‘DNA’ is both brighter and slightly pacier, its hypnosis deriving from the pads and synthesizer sequences that circle the drums. ‘CCC II’ takes a darker approach to a similar idea, this time with the suggestion of polyrhythms in the distant and heavily-treated percussive elements circling in the background behind uneasy ambience. It builds to the closer ‘Spiritual Quest’, where overlaid rhythms in 3 and 4 are not easily reducible and create the tension at the track’s centre driving it to its conclusion.

vin sol - Sky Pager
Creepin' in plays with the gray areas that exist between genres, contrasting with the clarity of the digital synths and over saturated analog drums. Next up Ineffekt is acid electro cut with thrashing percussion held together with 808 drums. Red Alert is the only track with a vocal. Classic Roland drums, deep sub and hardware synths mixed with the hypnotic vocal overlays make this one for the freaks. Sky Pager is slow cooked mid 90's jacking business, the kind I'm known for. 808 Trash Pile is an acid hammer of a cut with the drum and synth doing a maniacal game of call and response.
More than ever I used digital and analog together creating more sinister vibes on these tracks. The tracks for me also reside in a gray area that is in between house and techno and at the same time analog and digital. More

shlomi aber - XY Play

shlomi aber - Related Sources
Acclaimed Be As One boss Shlomi Aber makes a big step up here by putting out a trio of his killer techno cuts on the always excellent and forward looking NonPlus label run by Boddika. His XY Play EP continues in his no nonsense, ‘floor facing style and impresses once more. Shlomi Aber is an underground titan who runs his own musical empire in the form of his Be As One label. He has made it into an essential outlet for no frills house and techno and his own output has found him in fine favour with DJs and dancers alike. Playing all over the world and also serving as an expert at the Emerging Ibiza festival on the White Isle, here he comes correct once more. The title EP XY Play is a brain frying affair with cantering drums and stern synths bringing a dark and intone vibe to the groove. Way Old Story is just as heads down but less ominous, here the synths are a little spooky and add intrigue to his slick rubbery drums. Last but not least Related Sources is a hunched over house track with dub in its kick drums and a desolate industrial feel in the landscapes above. Atmospheric from the first to the last moment, this is another killer EP from Shlomi Aber.

Nonplus has been pushing the envelope for forward thinking music since its inception in 2009 and the next EP confirms this. There is little known about Hexagon Son but the raw and intricate sound of the Spiral EP suggests this is no newcomer. From the hypnotic swirls of Spiral17, the raw robot funk of Opia to the deconstructed tape driven re-imaging of Blipworx. The Spiral EP covers all corners of the expansive world of Techno.

marcellis - Can they do that (G love real raw)
He's not what you'd call a prolific producer but the old saying of 'quality over quantity' couldn't ring truer for Marcellis. With just 3 releases in the last 12 years starting with a single on 2004, followed by an EP on Workshop and then his album on Millions Of Moments, any new work is highly anticipated. Its been a long time coming for Nonplus but every bit worth the wait. 3 tracks covering a range of styles from the ice cold analogue quirkiness of 'Sleep', to the bumping 4/4 offering of 'Indigo Skyfold' through to the jazzed out chugger 'Can They Do Tha (G Love Real Raw)' its an honour to have Marcellis as an addition to the catalogue.
